JOVENITA is a wellness center in Los Angeles, California.

This project transformed a small courtyard between two wellness buildings into a quiet outdoor retreat that supports rest and reflection. The design integrates built-in seating with layered planting to create an intimate, sheltered space for patients, staff, and visitors.

Weaving a mixture of corten steel, wood, and concrete provides a natural and diverse fabric of textures.

The planting design brings seasonal interest, texture, and softness to the courtyard, reinforcing the connection between nature and healing.

The design was created in collaboration with Nicole Cook of NC Designs in the spring of 2025.

The design is currently under construction.
